It is this alternating sugar-phosphate arrangement that forms the "backbone" of a DNA molecule. Figure 3: All polynucleotides contain an alternating sugar-phosphate backbone.

A new study has created the first single-cell map of how DNA is regulated and organized inside different cell-types of human ...

All of the DNA minicircles and maxicircles are interlocked in a huge DNA catenane, which gives kDNA its characteristic chainmail structure. How did scientists discover this unique structure?

The synthetic bacteria contain a shorter genetic code with 57 codons rather than 64, freeing up space for further edits that ...
